Training Center History

From MB Wiki

The Training Center History (TCX (formerly HST)) file is a database file associated to the activities stored in the Garmin Training Center. This History file allows you to view data tracked with a Garmin GPS fitness device or stored at MotionBased.

If you wish to view or save your MotionBased activities in the Garmin Training Center, you may export the history file. If you wish to transfer existing activities already stored in the Garmin Training Center to MotionBased, you may import the history file.
